Image Statement: In March 2020, the streets emptied due to coronavirus. Boredom in isolation, but artists’ need to create is powerful. Turtle Fountain artist. Finding places to quietly continue, I re-imagined the artist who I photographed sitting quietly drawing sketches of Rome’s Turtle Fountain. In my imagination, I moved this gentle artist to a place beside my creek, at my favorite spot where the current tumbles around the Middletown Granite-Gneiss boulders – placidly bubbling when the water is low or raging and tumbling madly after a storm.
